Abstract:
Anhydrous sodium metasilicate is stabilized against attrition or "dusting" in detergent and other use, by formulating same with such amount of an additive, e.g., a hydrate, that will transfer water content to the anhydrous metasilicate, at a temperature less than the fusion temperature of sodium metasilicate pentahydrate and as will convert from about 1% to 20% by weight of said anhydrous metasilicate into its pentahydrate form.
Abstract:
Detergent compositions comprised of conventional detergent ingredients and additives include a non-abrasive silica scouring agent having a B.E.T. surface area of between 80 and 150 m.sup.2 /g, and desirably a C.T.A.B. surface area below 45 m.sup.2 /g and a porosity on the mercury porosimeter below 20 cm.sup.3 /g.
Abstract:
A non-corrosive detergent cleaning composition adapted primarily for cleaning dishes and textiles formulated to contain a mixture of detergent agents, oxidizing or disinfecting agents, non-ionic or a mixture of non-ionic and anionic agents, and which may include filling agents, the improvement wherein the composition is formulated to contain a sodium silico-aluminate which inhibits coloring, corrosion and degradation of chlorine derivatives, with or without a silico-aluminate to inhibit tarnishing of aluminum.
